WC: SUI 0 – 0 FRA: 65th minute

Barthez with the sun in his eyes makes an amazing reflex save as the Swiss are really pressuring the French. You can feel the pressure mounting on the French now. They want the result on this. They need the result. A tie is a loss to the French fans. The Swiss fans would lose their minds with a tie. It would be a celebration on par with what Trinidad and Tobago had against Sweden.

At this point, Switzerland seems to be dominating almost all aspects of the match. It’s an impressive showing. Some silly fouls and yellow cards on the French side. They are clearly losing patience.
